The Sussex County Emergency Operations Center alerted Indian River responding apparatus that initial reports indicated a child with tea pot stuck on her head.
Emergency response personnel found a toddler whom was playing with a plastic “Disney” toy teapot product when it became lodged on her head and stuck as a result of the tight fit and suction.
